SPSS is good for data management
What do you like best about the product?
The software is built to do good at data management and it does the job
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is good for data management, its somewhat lacking in data analysis as compared to STATA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps dealing with health care utilization data by type of insurance plans
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a goos software for data cleaning and data management but there are better options for doing data analysis such as STATA, R, Python. However, for data cleaning SPSS is a very good tool. Might be recommended to use other software if the main goal is data analysis or data visualization.
Great Statistics Software
What do you like best about the product?
Able to run ANOVAs and other statistical functions as a way to analyze data.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a very expensive product and is not as customizable as newer software such as R.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysis of statistical data for research projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't need to do complicated statistical analysis then this product is great for standard functions.
useful for research purpose
What do you like best about the product?
You can run analyses with huge database and modify settings as you prefer. Output are very clear and easy to understand. I like the layout and how it is organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the beginning it's hard to understand how it works, there are so many things that you can do with it so you need time to get used with the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it in the research field running analyses with database with many different variables. With SPSS I can work with datas on new findings and write papers about it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't worry if at the beginning everything look messy and hard to understand, you need time and then you will run analyses easily!
SPSS for university dissertation statistics
What do you like best about the product?
I used it for my university dissertation, it did everything I needed from a statistics software, created the graphs and was easy input for running tests
What do you dislike about the product?
It is quite old fashioned looking and not that intuitive you really need to know how to run statistical tests to be able to use it without little training. It does not have a very modern feel about it and the look of the platform. More help functions would also be useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Calculating stats tests on the levels of vitamin D in women's diets and to identify outliers in the data and compare and contrast the data sets.
Great Software for Statistical Analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I like how versatile SPSS is. There are even add-ons, like PROCESS, that can help with more complex analyses, for many things that don't come in the basic package.
What do you dislike about the product?
This software is very expensive, especially for a grad student like me. Also, SPSS is not quite as intuitive as some other spreadsheet software, like Excel and Numbers, for example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SPSS can conduct complex data analyses that would be impossible with many other softwares.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely recommend if you need to conduct more complex statistical analyses. It can't do everything, but it certainly can do most things!
Great for processing, sucks for macs
What do you like best about the product?
SPSS works great for doing straightforward analyses and creating graphs
What do you dislike about the product?
SPSS as an IBM program doesn't function ideally for Apple products
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to perform all of the data analyses that I need to in my role and teach others how to use it as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware of the computer system you use
Easy to work, learn, and understand statistical analysis and modeling tool
What do you like best about the product?
-Graphical UI
-Easy to navigate among options
- Great output when applying different test, models
- Extensive amount of learning material and great content written by experts

What do you dislike about the product?
Not easy to code, it has its own language. Could be significantly more friendly if supporting R or Python. The application is not good for big data as it loads everything in memory. If your laptop has little memory, it wont load and crash.
It does not provide learning license. I wish IBM could have released a version for self learning students.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Descriptive analysis, statistical test, statistical modeling
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use it for small data. For big data, it is not a candidate at all. I have seen it successful in social science, medicine, and education where sample data is small. In businesses with big volume of data like telecom or networking, this is not working unless you perform your test on a very small dataset.
The beauty is that you do not need a full fledge expert to make it run. If use has basic math/stats, he can start and use the guide to learn.

SPSS no longer the gold standard?
What do you like best about the product?
It's flexibility to use dialog boxes and to use syntax to program
What do you dislike about the product?
EVERYTHING ABOUT PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION! Even though I have been using SPSS since it was on VAX and UNIX (mainframe) we had to stop using it in the last year. Too difficult, lengthy and confusing to be able to purchase and download the software. IBM killed this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyzing interactions between multiple forms and types of data (structured and unstructured
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have your IT department hand;e everything about purchase and installation
I use SPSS alot
What do you like best about the product?
That it has menu and syntax, so if you like coding, you can use the syntax and the menu is always there to help you if you dont know the code. I like the you can paste the work when you are using the menu and then trasforme it into syntax
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like that there are only limit number of companies using it. So if you like to analysis your data using SPSS, then its harder for you to fit into some jobs that requires using a free software. I dont like that SPSS cannot do all types of analysis, like. Stuctural equation modeling. Also some of the analysis, you only can do them by syntax not menu. Also whenever i try to copy and past the graphs i do on SPSS to a paper to puplish or something, the quality of the graph wont be satisfactory
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analyzing data and statistical analysis
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make it free, there are so many
Quick and convenient statistical analysis toolbox
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can use dropdown menus and option boxes to conduct my analyses (rather than strictly writing code). Syntax is great way to keep track of what I have done, take notes, and repeat a previous analysis. So many functions, it does just about everything that I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I run a bunch of analyses in one sitting, my output file piles up with analyses and there isn't a great way to separate things out. Not easy to find old output. I wish I could easily have another output file where I can save just the important things. I wish it were easier to delete output.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Conducting academic and industrial research on complex data sets, including motion tracking data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A training course is required in order to be able to use the full functionality of the software. well worth it though.
